    Gutted. What a comeback though, serious fight shown by our boys out there. That Tucker HR was a brilliant moment!

    We come back tomorrow and we use the pain from today to take them out tomorrow.

    Great game despite the outcome.

    Astros fought and ran their starter earlier than they wanted.


    Tigers are good... splitting these 4 games isn't too shabby.

    It was bound to happen. Now it's time to start a new weird streak of goodness.

    I only counted three, but I have been working on tuning him out. It's step 10.

    I can't remember the last time I saw an ephus pitch, hope Simon busts it out today and someone hits it halfway to Mars.

    7 of the 9 hitters have plus power.

    Can't make mistakes against this team.

    It's too bad Gattis can't play catcher. You could take Castro and MarGo out of the lineup and add Correa and Singleton and turn this into the power lineup from hell.

    Can't he though?

    That lineup would be filthy.

    I'd like to see them try it, but the impression I get from the Astros is that they haven't even considered it (and Braves fans have said he's terrible there). With how good the pitching staff is doing, probably not worth messing with the catchers in reality, but it would be fun.

    I'd rather keep him healthy and fresh at DH. His triple digit RBI potential makes me hope we keep him at DH/LF.
